AV's BAI and Fat Ham

April 19, 2024 - May 12, 2024

BAI's (Carl Karni-Bain) figures bend the narrative of gender mythology to include the often excluded. Their representation is not make-believe, but true contemporary and desired freedoms as expressed in Fat Ham by James IJames and directed by Monteze Freeland at T2.

Fat Ham, the 2022 Pulitzer Prize winner for Drama is a "deliciously funny send-up of Shakespeare’s Hamlet...When the ghost of Juicy’s father demands that Juicy avenge his murder, fatal intent doesn't come easy to this sensitive, self-aware, young Black man in search of his own happiness and liberation."
